Programming Problem Set #Elections

Description

There are two candidates campaigning to be president of a country. From newspaper polls, it is clear what percentages of people plan to vote for each candidate in each state. Candidate 1 wants to campaign in one last state, and needs to figure out which state that should be.

Given some states and votes in each state, find one city with lowest percentage of people planning on voting for candidate 1.

Input Format

First line consists of an integer N (1 <= N <=50), the number of states. Each of the next N lines is a string (1 to 50 characters long, inclusive) consisting of the characters ‘1’ and ‘2’, where ‘1’ represents some number of votes for candidate 1, and ‘2’ represents votes for candidate 2 (in each state, every character represents the same number of votes).

Output Format

An integer, the 0-based index of the state where the lowest percentage of people are planning on voting for candidate 1 (lowest percentage of ‘1’ characters in that element of the input). If there are multiple such states, return one with the lowest index

1222

Sample Output 1

0

Note

In the first state only 25% of people prefer candidate 1, while in the second and third, 50% and 25% prefer him, respectively.
